Over ONE MILLION Oregonians and many more millions of Americans stand to lose healthcare if the ACA is repealed. Oregon could also lose up to 42,000 jobs.

– The new Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analysis projects up to 14 million people will lose coverage within the FIRST YEAR and up to 24 million in the next decade.

– TrumpCare gives the richest Americans and corporations a $592 billion tax break (yes, that’s a “B” for “billion”), while eliminating . . .

 Medicaid expansion and leaving low income Americans unable to afford healthcare.

– Since TrumpCare was introduced, AARP, American Medical Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, and many others have objected because it will harm too many people

– All Oregon MoCs (except Walden) object to TrumpCare! Convince Walden to do everything possible to protect the ACA and the Americans who rely on it. Consider calling/contacting our other Oregon representatives to thank them for their support!

Where’s Walden on Affordable Healthcare for Oregonians!
